When you’re up against “some” problem, and the prospect’s dull and drear, Don’t ; give way to weak, repining, strike out boldly, persevere 1 . ’Tis by " staunch and earnest effort things worth winning ’; ' • are attained; And by steadfast application that efficiency is gained.

When you meet with most resistance, that's the time to do your, best! .. -.'",<? ...-::' <"> Stir yourself and do your utmost When you've won is time to rest*' * Set about that knotty problem, never mind if once you've failed ' i • ';.. Try again and yet again, man 1 Persevere till you've prevailed. There's no earthly good in wishing you had someone else's luck Like as not you'd find, on searching, 'twas the frjuit of downright pluck. Fight, and show the stuff you're made of, prove you've backbone, grit, and nerve! Most of us in life's fierce struggle get the things we most deserve.
